FIRE’s 2008 summer interns are also profiled in this edition, and they offer testimonials to other students who might be interested in interning with FIRE in the future. Brian Mink, a 2008 summer intern, remarks, "There is no doubt that FIRE’s enjoyable and thoroughly engaging atmosphere has made me a better American and a better advocate for fundamental human rights."

Finally, the Quarterly highlights FIRE’s U.S. News & World Reportadvertisement, which not only brought over 120,000 new visitors to FIRE’s website but also successfully pressured one Red Alert school—Valdosta State—to revoke its unconstitutional free speech zone policy and restore freedom of expression to all corners of campus. Valdosta State has since been removed from FIRE’s Red Alert list and we hope that the remaining four schools will follow suit.
